FAQs
What is SLID technology?
SLID is an internal safety system developed by HJC to help mitigate the force of rotational impacts during a crash.
Does the helmet come with replacement pads?
Yes, each HJC Ibex 3 includes a set of spare pads for when the original set requires replacement.
Can I remove the COOLPATH lining?
The COOLPATH system is integrated into the helmet design to replace traditional padding; it should be kept in place for maximum airflow.
Is the Ibex 3 suitable for mountain biking?
While it can be used for various disciplines, it is specifically optimized for road cycling performance and aerodynamics.
What should I do if the helmet is dropped?
If you drop the helmet, inspect it thoroughly for cracks. If in doubt, consult a professional, but significant impacts usually necessitate a replacement.
How do I clean the exterior shell?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the helmet's finish or protective properties.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Ensure the rear cradle is sitting correctly at the base of your skull before tightening the micro-dial.
Dial is difficult to turn
Check for debris or dirt in the ratchet mechanism and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
Sunglasses are loose in the holder
Ensure the sunglasses arms are pushed firmly into the designated vent ports until they lock into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the optimal fit, first place the helmet on your head and utilize the SELFIT PRO automatic system. Once in place, use the 11-step micro-control dial at the rear to fine-tune the tension until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted to sit just below your jawline.
For care, the helmet includes Ionic+ fabric liners that should be hand-washed with mild soap and water periodically to maintain hygiene. Use the included protective bag when storing or transporting the helmet to avoid surface scratches on the outer shell. If the helmet is involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced regardless of visible damage, as the internal protective layers are designed for single-use effectiveness.
